While things seem to be "business as usual" in Ste-Rosalie....

...the people in Chinon St-Jacques (Fr) woke up to quite a surprise this morning!

The local "cheminots" (Trains man, brake man, conductor & engineers) were stun to see this in the local yard:



The "Chef" who was still feeling the after effect of the night before said to an evergrowing gathering:

" Mon Dieu! What iz diz thing? Did we move to America ? "

" Je ne sais pas chef ! But it smell like Maple syrup...? " said the local brakeman.

The yard master could not believe his eyes either:



North America indeed. The little boxcar that could. From St-Hyacinthe to Europe. If only Charle and Oscar could see this !
They would have a bottle of the finest red wine with the Chef and his crew........





and like the "Chef" would say : " That is a good excuse to have a little fete, with our finest red wine bien sur !"

and that morning the local "cheminot" and towns people gather to mademoiselle Adele boutique (across form the rail yard) where she had set up a table with
wine and cheese - what else ! -to celebrate this unbelievable event !

All this under the watchfull eye of the Gendarme..in case some North American hobo might be waking up in ze boxcar! Sacrebleue!
